Banners and statues are displayed outside the Favalora Hospital, placed there by supporters of Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez who is undergoing surgery to her skull to siphon out blood that is pressuring her brain, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2013. The surgery on the 60-year-old leader worried many Argentines, who have struggled to imagine their country with anyone else at its center.
